While
lighting up in the great outdoors is a time-honored custom for many
cigar enthusiasts, safely transporting your precious smokes to a remote
locale can be difficult. That is unless you have the proper gear, like
SwissTeck’s Black Ops Echo Travel Humidor.

Designed
for smokers on the go, the Black Ops Echo Travel Humidor offers the
avid outdoorsman an all-in-one cigar solution, as it features a humidor,
lighter and cutter.

The
travel humidor is made of strong ABS plastic, which makes it virtually
crushproof, can float on water and can withstand temperatures between
-10 degrees to 175 degrees Fahrenheit. (Although any cigars inside would not survive such extremes.) The humidor, which can safely
house four toro-sized cigars, closes to create an airtight seal and a
small humidification disk keeps the inside properly humidified.

The
kit also includes a Black Ops Echo lighter and double guillotine
cutter. The dual-flame torch feels well-constructed, a mix of hard
plastic and metal. Users need not be afraid to drop and break this
lighter on the trail (though we do not advocate trying.)

A
flick of the thumb opens the lighter’s protective cap, exposing two
torches that are ignited via a button next to them. While the spacing is
a bit tight for large ring gauge cigars, anything below 50 ring should
be easy to light. The lighter is also equipped with a retractable punch
cutter.

While
the Echo lighter is solid, the double guillotine cutter that comes with
the humidor feels a bit cheap. The cutter can snip cigars up to 54 ring
gauge, but it can only cut parejos, or straight-sided smokes, and not
figurados. This is because the cutter is closed off on one side,
limiting the depth at which a cigar can be cut.

If
you can overlook the cutter, the Black Ops kit is a good solution for
the cigar smoker who loves to play outside. The price is right, too, at
only $59.99.

The
travel humidor comes in a matte black finish only, while the lighter
and cutter are offered in four colors: Blackout (black), Arctic
(silver), Desert (brown) and Forest (green).

The
Black Ops Echo Travel Humidor kit can be found at cigar shops
throughout the country. Visit www.swissteck.com for more information.
